Please help identify this classic wooden speed boat

[paul25]

hello,

I am about to restore this wooden speed boat and would love to know who and where it was made and some of it's history, to aid selecting the right fittings etc..

I bought it from someone in Exmouth Devon, who believed it to be local, but could not be any more specific.

any help would be much appreciated.

many thanks

Tremlet ?

It does have a Tremlett'sih look about it, also looks a bit Levi to me, but I dont think it is.

Try the CMBA forum http://www.cmba-uk.com/forum/index.php

Some dim recollections from the early 70's - Raglan ? I think only a handfull were built.

It could be one of Eric See's boats he pioneered reverse clinker construction, there is an article in Classic boat june 09.
